Arsenal boss Unai Emery reveals why he opted not to sign Salah while at PSG

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has revealed the reason he opted not to sign Mohammed Salah while still handling his former club Ligue 1 club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

According to Metro (UK), Emery could have bought Salah while he was still attached to Roma in 2017, but was unsure how the 26-year-old would have copped with pressure at a big club.

"We spoke about the possibility to sign Salah to Paris Saint-Germain when he was playing at Rome," Emery revealed.
"We had some doubts - and then he signed for Liverpool and these doubts he has broken at Liverpool. Now if you are speaking about the top five players in Europe, one is Salah," he said.
And when Emery was asked on what made him shy away from signing the Egyptian he said: "Can he take the performance into one big team?"

"For example like PSG in Paris And today I can say to you...if we signed him, we signed one player on the top five int he world," he concluded.

Emery's side come up against Jurgen Klopp's men who remain unbeaten in the league, at Anfield on Saturday, December 29, in what is certain to be a cracker.

The Egyptian will be looking to extend his goal tally having already amassed 59 goals in 75 games for the Reds.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
